Ray y Getafe They face Vallecas in a regional Madrid derby that has three key points at stake for the premises to maintain the illusion for the European dream and the blueons, on the one hand, they get the final permanence, and, on the other, they also grab that fight for playing continental competition that this season will have a prize for the eighth classified.
With 41 points, three from Europe, the ray remains excited about the continental competition. That is something that both within the wardrobe and among the fans it has become the main incentive until the end of the course, once virtual salvation has been achieved.
The Vallecano team has many hopes deposited in this game, especially to change the dynamics that are going through four days without winning and a single point of twelve and, looking further, with a single victory in the last ten games.
Iñigo Pérez Account for this match with two important casualties in your starting team by sanction. One is that of the Argentine goalkeeper Augusto Battle, which Dani Cárdenas will replace, and another of the Romanian right side Andrei Ratiu, whose place will be occupied by Albanian Iván Balliu, who does not play at the beginning in the League since December 18, 2024 against Villarreal.
To the other side, the left, could also return Pep Chavarríawhich rested against Atlético de Madrid, while the main doubt resides in the center of the rear since both Aridane Hernández and the Senegalese midfielder Pathé Ciss, converted to defense, have options.
In front is the Getafe, That after three consecutive defeats (four in the last five games), he fights to add the last three points with which he would practically achieve salvation. With 39 units in the classification, reaching 42 would mean the end of an agony that began at the beginning of the course. From August, until the last 2024 meeting (a defeat against Mallorca 0-1), he was downhill and without brakes.
However, in 2025 he woke up and during the first two months of the year he showed himself as an intractable team away from the coliseum with victories against Las Palmas, Real Sociedad, Alavés, Osasuna and Valladolid. With those results, added to the draw against Barcelona and the defeat that gave Atlético de Madrid, ascended in the classification as a rocket until caressing salvation.
Even so, men directed by José Bordalás need to finish the task. They have struck in the final step and teams such as Las Palmas, Espanyol and Real Madrid have ended consecutively with Getafe's hopes to end as soon as possible with the uncertainty of sealing permanence.
And despite the bad moment of results that Getafe crosses, Europe is not far. Only five points separate him from Osasuna, at this time eighth in the classification, while he has an rent of seven over Las Palmas, the last club that would currently lose the category.
From Europe you don't want to hear or talk at Getafe. They only think about permanence. Bordalás is focused on this match and ignores the rumors that place him in Sevilla next year. A victory in Vallecas would allow the Madrid club to start planning the season much in advance and avoid the shortage of last summer reinforcements that reduced the capacity of the Madrid team.

Precisely, before lightning, Getafe will have a certain shortage of troops. You will not be able to count on Christantus Uche by sanction and has several doubts for injury: Diego Rico, Allan Nyom and David Soria. The three are pending their evolution and the last training on Thursday will issue a sentence. To the third, Jirí Letacek will replace him, while Juan Bernat would play on the left side and the decline of Nyom, a regular substitute, would have less incidence in a team that will bet on an eleven continuous that generated problems to Real Madrid.
